Not that I've seen, but having a "none of the above, I want none of
this" option seems prudent.

Not really. We can't really unbundle and move to PECL without
deprecating first anyway, IMO. It's basically the option for no real
change but clarifying the manual wording, since nobody seems satisfied
with it.

Or, to put it another way from where I sit: the "too hard, let's make
a decision after stringing people along longer" option.
